Despite forecasts of rain this year’s Toohey Trail Run was the biggest yet with more than 1000 people taking part in the annual event hosted by Griffith Sport.
Griffith Sport Event ManagerJamie Hedgesaid it was wonderful to see so many people of all ages and abilities participate.
“We ended up having 1082 registrations which is a 10% increase on last year and raised over $6500 for Diabetes QLD,’’ she said.
Participants ran 5km, 10km or 21.1 routes from Griffith’s Nathan campus through Toohey Forest and back.
Brendan Press took out the 10km run in a time of 37.03, while Alison Ryan was the first woman home in a time of 46.07.
In the half marathon, Isaias Beyn was first in 1.19 while Clare Geraghty won the women’s in 1.31.
The Berrinba Running Team took the title as not only the biggest team at Toohey this year with 63 team members; they also took home the novelty prize for best team spirit cheering each and every member over the finish line.
Best dressed family went to Steph and Caitlyn Jansons.
